Extruder Setup
Use this page to setup the Maximum Extruder RPM. This is critical for GH Monitor
units and GHF feeder units. This value is automatically calculated with GH Full Control
units.
Also for GHF Feeder units you will need to program in the maximum LBS/HR of the
extruder for the feeder’s target LBS/HR calculation.

Hauloff Setup and Encoder Calibration Page (GH Full Control ONLY)
Use this page to enable the hauloff option of the GH Full Control Unit. The unit should
be set to “Do not read speed from COEX Master” if a COEX AB does not exist. If it
does then this setting is automatically setup by the COEX Master. The Hauloff max
speed must be entered if you are not using an encoder (see mechanical options to turn this
feature on/off). If you are using an encoder then you must calibrate the encoder by
running the line at a known speed, hand measuring the line speed with a tachometer,
entering the speed into the ft/min box, and then clicking the “click here” box. You can
also manually modify this calibration by adjusting the “Distance per revolution of
encoder”.
